SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 235,106, dated December'7, 1880,

Application filed September 3, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, JULIUS STEINER, of the city of St. Louis, in theState of Missouri, have invented certain Improvements in AdjustableUmbrellaHolders for Vehicles; and I do hereby declare that the followingspecification is a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

This invention relates to the construction of an umbrella-holder forvehicles which is cheap, durable, and effective in construction, and bymeans of which theumbrella can be adjusted to and firmly held in anydesired position; and this invention consists in the arrangement of aspring sleeve'piece in which the umbrellastem is securely clamped, saidsleeve being pivoted to a vertical sector plate or frame, so as to bevertically adjustable, and held to its adjustment by a clamping nut andscrew, the sector-frame being made horizontally adjustable on itspedestal or bracket support, being tor this purpose provided with a stemwhich turns in a sleeve on said support, and is clamped in any desiredposition by a clampingscrew, all of which will hereinafter more fullyappear.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a detail sideelevation.

A is the pedestal or bracket support, attached by screws or other meansto the vehicleseat, and having at top a sleeve, a, in which turns thejournal-stem of the sector'frame B, which is clamped and held in anydesired horizontal position by the thumb-nut b.

To the sector-frameB is pivoted the springsleeve 0, in which theumbrella D (shown by dotted lines in Fig. l) is secured by means ofclamping screw and nut O.

The sleeve C is provided with a thumb-nut and screw, 0, which passesthrough a curved slot, I), in the sector frame or plate B, so that itcan be swung or adjusted vertically on its pivot in said plate, andsecurely clamped in any desired position by means of its thumbnut andscrew 0. I

By means of the horizontal and vertical swinging adjustments, as abovedescribed, I am enabled to adjust the position of the umbrella in anydesired manner, and it will be seen that the means employed will firmlyand securely lock the parts in the desired position.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is Thebracket-support A, provided with a base for attachment to thewagon-seat, sleeve to, horizontally-adjustable sector-frame B, andclamping-nut b, in combination with the pivoted umbrella-holding sleeve0, made adj ustable by thuinb-nut c, and curved slot 1), as hereindescribed, and for the purpose set forth.
